Fresh from competing at the 31st National Seniors’ Golf Championships in Cape Town, the pair returned to local action in fine form, carding 51 points to secure victory in the June round.
Doreen Ensor-Smith and Hilde Meyer finished runners-up after also posting 51 points but lost out on a count-out, while Lynda Joynt and Tracey B-Hicks claimed third place with 50 points.

Among the day’s other prize winners, Colleen Francis and Tracy Baleta were recognised for their nearest-the-pin achievements. Barbara Collett, Judy Coppin and Michelle Falconer were the lucky winners of the raffle prizes.
ESWG president Charmaine Stone congratulated all participants and thanked the hosts and volunteers for their contributions to the event’s success.
“Thank you to John Woudberg in the Pro Shop for all his assistance in ensuring the day ran smoothly, as well as Ebotse Ladies Golf section captain Juanita O’Donoghue and her committee for the two amazing raffles they donated,” said Stone.
She also thanked Leslie Nienaber for assisting with the prize-giving and extended a warm welcome to newcomers Fiona Spark and Katya Kalonyanova at their first seniors’ event.
Stone added that it was wonderful to see Veena Kanji back on the golf course and expressed her appreciation to the ESWG committee, along with Lindsay Rees and Doret Lombard, for their continued support.
“Well done, ladies, on some excellent results,” she said.
